The Hopvine is a post prohibition watering hole built in the early 1930s. Until 1995, the Hopvine was the 507 Tavern, a little place in the 15th Avenue business district. In 1995 the current owners remodeled the Hopvine, adding lots of nice blond wood and a bar with taps arranged in clusters of three and four. It's a comfortable neighborhood pub and a good place to enjoy a craft beer along with very good pub food.

I love these people. They couldn't be nicer. The soups are always fantastic. The pizza--not my fave, but I like a New York-style pie. What is the deal with doughy Seattle pizza? Anyway, I won't hold that against the Hopvine 'cause everything else is fabulous. Try the artichoke sandwich. Yummmmmm!
